Hello,
I need some help to translate jquery to mo.
What is the $('<div/>') in
finalText = $('<div/>').text(finalText).html();
Does it create a div?

the complete code is here:

Yes, $('<div/>') creates a new div element, same as new Element('div') in MooTools.

So that code would be like:

finalText = new Element('div', {text: finalText}).get('html');
